"Mile Post 3"  oil 32" x 28" © 2011 sfsmith

The Mile Post Series explores the textures of the landscape ~ they are meant to be visually monumental, but familiar as we recognize the forms and relationships, or sense the energy in the empty space.

The Landscapes of the Interior West Series explores the lifeblood of nature – the energy within and around us, the wind, sun, rain, trees and rocks and leaf-fall, all the processes of life as we experience it.  It is  through this effort that we can hope to understand the whole.
